Creepy Crawlies


I just realized that I never got a chance to take some pictures of the second unit of swarms which I did for that tournament last month.  I desperately wanted something that could vanguard! 


The Husk and these Swarms were the only things which could do that, so I tried to squeeze in as many as I could.  I thought that if I had these three, I could get a little help in two of the normal scenarios.


While the swarms were very squishy, they were also height zero, which could also make them much easier to hide!


The husk was a converted figure, made from Scorpion bits and even skeletal horses!  I modified the legs of the horses to become the smaller legs of the Husk.


The swarms were Reaper BONES minis.  They were absolutely perfect.


This post shows what they looked like before I got the chance for a few hours of painting:



One final note:  For those going to Adepticon, I will have a number of the new Mantic figures in the Hobby Lounge with me, and I hope to paint some of them while I'm there!!  Come and join us...

  1. Great work - I recent did the Bones scarab swarms as my warhounds for a mummy-themed Frostgrave warband. Love the way yours almost seem to glow.

    1. Many thanks! I combined a Vallejo Metal medium with my fluorescent paints, which had a very fun effect!
